Testimonials

"We contacted Canterbury Bears to design a bear for my mother's 70th Birthday. She was a war baby so an evacuee theme was agreed. We named the bear after my Mother's maiden name, Anne Mepham. We were thrilled when the bear arrived in her beautiful Camel hair coat and very excited that with our blessing she was incorporated into Canterbury's Vintage range as a Limited Edition of seventy pieces."

"I have returned again and again to Littlebourne to choose bears for my ever growing family. They always arrive beautifully bowed and packaged. The service has been quick and small touches like ribbon choice makes the whole experience very personal."

"Thank you to everyone at Canterbury Bears for the amazing restoration job on our bear. There wasn't much left of him after our dog had chewed him, but you put him back together beautifully and his new leg looks a treat!"
